Stuff Brown People Like #6 Overpacking
ShareThis
Brown People love to over pack. If any of you have ever been back to the motherland or even as close as Britain, you know brown people love to over pack. We pack our suitcases tighter than Method Man packs a blunt. If you ever go to the airport and see a box and/or suitcase packed with so much stuff that it looks like its going to burst, it will ultimately belong to a brown person. What do we do when we have a suitcase that is about to burst and rip right open like a button on your fat cousin Puja’s blouse? We do the same thing we do to Puja, we tie that bitch with a rope. Yes, you can not get any more “brown” than tying your suitcase with a rope or as my mommy likes to call it a “Russi”.
However the tying of the suitcase is not the worst part of this wonderful characteristic we display. No, the worst part is when you are in line behind an aunty who has over packed and did not meet the weight requirement. After you have to listen to her explain why she over packed and plead with the flight attendant to let it on the plane anyways, this aunty will do what no white person would ever do. She will sit there on the ground, open up her suitcase and start taking stuff out. Mind you that she will feel no shame in all this because brown people are immune to humiliation at airports. After the strip searches, cavity searches, and the scared looks what more can they do?
Brown people do not believe in weight requirements. We think that our luggage will magically become lighter once it gets to the airport. If Dhalsim can change his weight, why can’t our luggage. If we are coming back from the motherland than most of our suitcases will be filled with fabrics and Sari’s that will sit in our suitcase until they go out of style. While other suitcases will have hundreds of DVDs that we got from India that will not even work. If we are going to the motherland, our bags will be filled with deodorant, ketchup, and shampoo bottles. Over packing is one of those things that brown people love to do but hate to see other people do it. When we over pack and go over the weight requirements and get away with it, we feel like OJ did when he got acquitted. If the suitcase won’t fit, the flight you must miss.
haha yes these are back…i love these…and yes this applies to JFK airport. You will see this at least 20 times a day.
I work at Newark Airport and I see this with brown people all the time…lmao that someone said it. It is actually an inside joke in newark airport.
Damn those people in the pic look sad…like they are about to get deported.
My gramps told me that the rope’s to prevent Indian airport people from snooping around in your luggage. :/
Wait till you see them start to wear multiple layers in mid summer so they can pack everything into their carryons to avoid paying an extra penny for the charged check-in baggage.
yeah and now they don’t allow more than one bag…on domestic flights…it’s bad enough we have this during international flights…we are going to have it for domestic too…its going to suck

I have unfortunately participated in this for my family as well
Sitting down on a suitcase so my mom could zipper it up was a normal part of my childhood
